This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

I started to use my new Kindle yesterday and noticed that my reactions to it has been quite different from reading books. Every time I'm reading a book, I yawn and have water eyes. However, when I use Kindle, I don't have those problems. Maybe while I'm using it, my brain is deceptively thinking that I'm just browsing a smartphone.

Are you allergic to books?

One of my allergy symptoms is watery eyes.

I know "Are you allergic to books" seems like an odd question, but why would your eyes water otherwise?

I think your body works in some strange ways. 😜
 
On the contrary, I find reading from a smartphone more straining to the eyes than reading from a book. I believe that's why it's more common for children nowadays to have vision problems at an early age.

That's your experience but that doesn't mean you can say "On the contrary" about this subject. That usually precedes an explanation of why the previous statement is factually incorrect. That's not the case here - you're just giving a difference of opinion.

Do you mean you think that I like using smartphone to read books more? No, I like physic books more. My watery eyes was caused by yawning, and my yawning results from my brain thinking that reading books is boring.:ROFLMAO: Therefore, when I use Kindle, my brain might be deceived into thinking I'm browsing my phone or playing games.
